What Is a Loan?

A loan is an agreement between two or more parties to borrow money.

It is the act of borrowing money from someone else for a specific purpose, such as buying a car, paying off debt, getting married, etc. Loans are also used to finance projects like the construction of houses and factories.

Loans are generally used, in everyday life, to refer to all types of loans including personal loans, mortgages, and home equity loans. A loan is any sort of borrowing made for the financial benefit of the lender and/or one’s own financial benefit (i.e. borrower).

What Are the Different Types of Loans?

It is estimated that on average, Americans owe $24,000 in personal debt. This means that on average, American's owe more than their car is worth. There are many different types of loans that you can get to help pay off your debts, but there are also some risks associated with each type of loan.

Loans can be secured or unsecured depending on the type of loan. Secured loans offer more protection than unsecured loans, whereas unsecured loans offer high credit limits and lower interest rates. There are also different types of terms for loans including short-term, long-term, and adjustable rate mortgages.

An unsecured loan is when the person loaning you money doesn't require anything in return for it other than repayment. A secured loan is when the lender wants to have something that they can take back if you don't repay your debt.
